Hello Bernie
I replied my thanks here the moment I saw the thread flood into my twitter feed because my gratitude to everyone that wore the Red and gave up their day when I didn’t is sincerely appreciated.

I have no excuse better than having made a commitment to another organisation that quiet frankly doesn’t deserve it.

I am also taking today’s rally of support at the Spire very personally. Because if I wasn’t already obliged by that previous commitment today I would have gone off to Carlow with Johnny Keenan and BARE Festival’ed like a teenager.

Yet everyone there today on O’Connell Street was there to tell me “we have your back.”
While all the time I didn’t have theirs.

I hope that you got the all-clear, I know you weren’t expecting to speak about it the night John ‘outed’ you on the youtube show, not cool in my books, not cool on any level, surprised you were do ok with it. Look after yourself.

However I do not feel, nor even felt at the time, John Ryan was inappropriate, and now, in the after the event as it were, I am glad we did it, and exactly the way we did it. In fact I would do it again.

Therefore I do not want anyone to feel differently on my behalf. Especially since I do not know what I am going to be talking about until it comes out of my mouth during the show.

Sorry for making this a thing everyone. I just got very emotional when I saw the pictures above and reacted.

I am genuinely and sincerely very touched by the turnout and effort by everyone at the Spire, and just feel I let them all down.

Bernie, I really do appreciate your concern. But it is my story and I have no regrets about it being made public. I am actually glad it is and am very comfortable with people knowing, and with the manner it got disclosed.

I love that you watch the show and that you followed up with me. But that remark is inappropriate and intrusive. Also, for me anyway, a bit creepy.

Please stop. The teenager reads Broadsheet and watches the show and I won’t have to think twice about dropping out altogether, which would be a shame as they talked me round and into doing it in the first place.

Have a good evening Bernie. Sorry everyone for dragging ye down on such a great day for most and for all sorts of reasons; weather, Cork getting leathered by Tyrone, England winning and Johnny Keenan’s tweets.

Please Bernie.
Please don’t hinder my chances with Dwayne. It should be clear and obvious to anyone, everyone, and as Marco might say, all the colours of the rainbow; I only have eyes, and plenty of evil thoughts about one man. My Rock.

Emma i still waiting for the ‘immediate payment’ that the Judge directed Quest to make so that she and her family could take a break. She had to get a loan from from a bank in order to take the break.
Wouldn’t you think Leo Varadkar would have taken some time out from his UN shenanigans to visit and make sure Quest were going to pay up? After all, he was Minister for a health back in the time.

It was impossible to garner a coherent response from her. Something is amiss, some form of untruth and I don’t say that lightly. My sister-in-law lost her fight with cancer at the age of twenty nine, leaving three under fives behind.

Cancer is not a game you bandwagon onto, to increase viewing figures. Cop the flip on.
